Dead MPU?

Sounds like you don't have a sample coin installed in the coin comparator.

S+ the LED on the comparator will not lite up with the main door open. The only way I know to check it is pull if loose from the bracket, let it hang from the wires, close main door and open belly glass door.

On the coin optics board ( green board right below the comparator ) You will see a real small button, press this button a couple of times and with the main door still open press the spin button. The machine should have played one game.

sample coin installed properly. however the comp assy was not snapped into place at top. snapped into place, pressed the comp button, it gave credit, hit spin, played a game .re-powered, closed everything up, machine now plays coins as it should. BV is not lit. not sure how to do the BV chip set but will read up on it. thankscowboy, buzz, & CV

Woohoo!!! Good job!i thought it might be a hardware issue! Cool!

DBV enable HELP. I went thru the process. When I got to the 9 0 credit window it was already on 9 1. I set the denomination to 25 ( this is a qtr machine) is this correct? Went thru the rest of the process - BV does not work. It will cycle on initial start up but no lites, wont accept bills. Last nite the bv routinely made noises like it was trying to power up while I was playing it. But now it does not.......thinkin maybe I will go thru the  whole process again....UPDATE I have gone thru the process again, exact same results.

If it cycles repeatedly while the game is running correctly otherwise I would look at wire connections and cashbox door switches. Also make sure the transport, head and cash can are all seated and locked in properly. Make sure there are no instructions or dirt hindering any connections or operations

Do you know if your DBV power supply is known to be in good condition?

[wdg61]

I have no clue what dbv power supply is and this si a recent purcahse that was not working so I have no clue Rick. I am in process of cleaning machine now. Plugging & unplugging, Inspecting, etc.

Look at reply #23 in this thread.    http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=4226.msg8620#msg8620

The wires that are pluged into the BV on your left side go directly to the BV power supply ( it's only 6 or 8 inchs from the BV )

black plastic mounted on side it looks like. any way to know if good? my s2000 tabasco does not have this box on side

[Buzz]

I really hate to be the one to tell you this, but the BV power supply won't be the only difference you will find between a S 2000 and a S+.

yeh I kinda figured, but thot I'd give it  alook. Looks to me like there are 2 separate circuit brds under that cover. The larger one  looks to me like it has several areas that have overheated. Fuse is still ok but i have a feeling this brd isnt. it is dbv-145-ss in this machine. in looking at posts the consensus is junk and go with 200 head & ps. I really dont wanna spend any more on this than I have to as I have other countless projects waiting that will also need $$ spent (Konami racing arcade, Golden Tee golf arcade, pinnacle shuffle alley)..i will look for cheapest route, if I dont like the $$ I will let this machine be a coin only and live with it.
